    How come foreigners can keep assets here and not be taxed on interest, capital gains, estates etc., but American's who do the same overseas are criminals? I guess we are against illegal immigration unless they are rich! Reply

    An interesting juxtaposition of articles:
    1. New rules against naked short selling by traders who are trying to bring down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and with them the entire home mortgage industry in the name of creative destruction, er. profit.
    2. One of the great Swiss banks has been helping US clients illegally avoid some $17 billion in taxes. I'm not sure what the UBS PR office has to say, other than that they will stop taking such clients in the US.
    There are a few changes that we can believe in.

    4-5 index etfs probably would do it as well. don't tell me you can keep track and properly analyze and follow all of your holdings. way too many.
    zero value added.

    Don't you love the term, "excluding special items", or for short, "ex items". What a way to hide expenses. Reply

    Oncology Conference Countdown: What Will Pharma and Biotech Companies Report? [view article]
    Dear Dr. Norman Lepoff,

    I am a retired Principal Biochemist and recognized expert in carbohydrate chemistry with 5 US Patents. I have worked out a novel anti-cancer therapy that I would like to discuss with you in private rather than in a public forum. Can you send me your private contact information for a confidential yet thorough discussion? I think that you will be impressed. I ultimately hope to obtain from you the names of contact individuals in oncological research, preferably at the big pharmaceutical houses.

    Thank you,
    Robert J. Mizerak

    You have much more control over the purchase price if you select a company like Zecco.com.

    Looks like HQL would appeal to investors looking for higher risk/reward investments in the healthcare sector. Has about 60% invested in biopharma, med devices & diagnostics. Of the top holdings Biomarin (BMRN) has done very well while Acadia Pharma (ACAD) is the worst performer. The fund trades at 15% discount to its NAV with a 9.4% distribution rate.

    I think the long-overdue rotation into healthcare is starting to occur and would favor RXL going forward. The top holdings are JNJ (11%), PFE (8%), MRK (5%), and ABT (4.7%) which should fare well with above-average dividend yields and products that people use regardless of the overall economy. JNJ is actually close to its 52-week high while ABT is mid-range and MRK/PFE are close to their lows. The more it appears a prolonged recession is likely; the better these stocks and RXL should perform. Reply

    Could you comment, or look into ProShares (RXL. RXL moves 200% relative to the health care basket of stocks. The inverse or short position version is (RXD). RE: RXD if the health sector goes down, then RXD will go up by about 200% I have been using them both depending which way is the momentum of health care looks. I have done better with the short RXD than going long on RXL
